The document outlines a formal opposition to Senate Bill 1117 (Cervantes), which seeks to limit the impact fees that local governments can charge for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) exceeding 750 square feet. The coalition, comprising several key associations including the League of California Cities and the California Special Districts Association, argues that such limitations would undermine the financial viability of public services and infrastructure necessary to support new developments. They emphasize that adequate funding through impact fees is essential for maintaining public assets like roads, parks, and emergency services, which are critical for attracting residents to new housing developments.
